"i know, i was just bringing up a seperate point. even if i did want to make music with samples, it's pretty hard for a normal person to obtain the rights to them (at least in the US where we have pretty restrictive copyright laws.)"

this is why i make music for fun and don't charge anybody for downloads

aubergine i get what you're saying about sampling but take it from someone who has done both: sampling is harder. trying to fit pieces together is a lot more difficult when you're not the one writing them
